See? There's life in the old moo-dog yet.
As you've no doubt guessed, I've been through a bit of upheaval, a spot of illness, some extreme busy-ness, a bit of a temporary change of job, a brief and very sunburnt holiday in Portugal and in the air pockets in the spaces in between, I didn't have a hell of a lot of things to say. Or at the very least, not the kind of things anyone wants to read on a blog.
Most recently, to round things off and bring the curtain down on an interesting phase of McDanger's epic journey through life, there was a bloody good wedding in Galway over the weekend just gone, one of those sorts of weekends that finishes late on a Monday. Let me tell you, there's something about the sight of Radge in a three-piece suit, absolutely bricking himself over a best man's speech, that just gladdens the very soul of man. And if that doesn't do it for you, the happy grins of the happiest couple in the history of happiness should do it instead. Congrats to J & A.
So anyway, I'm back together and here again. I'm very flattered that some of you wondered aloud where I was, so thanks. I'm still revved up to high doe with work and various other loose ends and all in all it's like trying to ice skate and put socks on an Octopus at the same time, so who knows when I'll put finger to keyboard again, but hopefully soon.
I missed you all you old bastards. I'm off now to read your blogs and there'd better be some good shit there when I arrive.

12 moos and woofs:
good to have you back. i was worried, so i was. i made pretend friends with Radge in your absence but it's not quite the same.
Well welcome back McDanger . . sounds like there's a few posts documenting the last coupla months . . new job, hollies . . thought we'd lost you to a stag in Liverpool! Good job I kept you on my blogroll!
Ah you're too good Rosie. I actually saw someone in the audience of questions and answers the other night and it looked like someone who looked like someone who looked a bit like you in the disguised picture of you on your blog. So now.
Radge is alright. You will come to love him in time, like his family do.
G'day baino. I had a feeling I was skirting close to off-the-blogroll time. I always come back just before the cut!
Now, to work...
they only time i've ever been on Questions and Answers was when i went on a drunken giddy rampage around the various sets that RTÉ have hidden in the warehouse behind the studios (a friend worked in hospitality there, so i spent every sunday in Donnybrook getting trollied and pretending that i worked there too)
so t'wasn't me. am curious now to know what this yoke looked like though.
Welcome back, T McD. I was afraid you'd scored yourself a new job either being the photographic model or composing captions for sex features in tabloid newspapers!
Thanks Kath, but my ambitions begin and end at page three photographer. Although I'd willingly learn the ropes as the nipple engineer with the ice cubes. What can I say, I'm keen.
Rosie, she just looked like you round the eyes, judging by your photograph on the blog. She wasn't purple though and thank God, that shit freaks me out.
it's like trying to ice skate and put socks on an Octopus at the same time
It's this kind of thing that I missed. Great to have you back.
Rosie, I thought it was love, or at the very least lust. 'Pretend friends' indeed. I'll know better in future.
Har and, indeed, umph!
And T McD speaketh truth. I was bricking it.
Hello again. Yes, more good shit than you could comfortably shake a stick at in a high wind driving to Limerick in the flatbed back of a Hilux.
Annie Rhiannon's planning on photographing me soon - if it's nice i might post it on my blog for all the world to see.
Spencer Tunick's photographing me soon too, but i doubt we'll be posting that one. or framing it.
Radge, a chroí, it's not love til you've bought me a pint.
Oh if pints are love you'll be marrying Radge inside a week a stór...
I thought you'd done the Spencer Tunick thing already though? Ah sure just post the photo of you with the clothes on, we'll imagine the rest.
Thanks chanberry btw, I was up all night thinking of that one ;) but I think thrift has done well with the old Hilux line too. The mere juxtaposition of shit and an agricultural type vehicle just gets me every time.
Ah, there you are McD. About time too. And weddings, etc are a poor excuse for not blogging. Go to your room.
